Staff report

A jury Tuesday took less than two hours to acquit Larry Derohn Jr., 37, formerly of Polk Township, on all sexual molestation charges involving two sisters.

Derohn had been accused of molesting the girls in 2011, when one was 8 and the other was 3.

Another adult was giving the younger girl a bath when she discovered a vaginal injury on the girl, police said. The girl was later examined and interviewed, after which her sister reported having been molested by Derohn.
